oAnd It Does {MORE! 
Though primarily recognized as the chief exterminate 
ing agent for Rose Bugs, Melrosine's good work goes 
much further. It kills that difficult pest, the black 
Aster Beetle (Blister Beetle) and of course, Potato Bugs, 
Striped Cucumber Beetle, etc; in short it is 
Fatal to Every c Bug it Touches 
Besides making short work of Bugs, Melrosine is a 
combined cleansing and disinfecting agent. It opposes 
many forces detrimental to vegetation, for by keeping 
the plants in healthy condition it enables them to re¬ 
sist disease. Melrosine, being a perfect contact in¬ 
secticide, naturally also disposes easily of all soft- 
bodied insects.

Novelties —and the 
Test of Time 
vO DISCOVER worth while new plants I consider one of 
the chief pleasures of my life. Recognizing merit in 
novelties is largely a matter of intuition and experi¬ 
ence. To-day, most Totty novelties represent mile¬ 
stones on the road of horticultural progress. Dick¬ 
son’s, Pernet’s and Hill’s famous Roses, the Wells and 
Pockett Chrysanthemums, Novelties in Dahlias, Carnations and 
Hardy Plants from everywhere—the newcomers sponsored by 
Totty’s have stood all tests and have brought delights to thou¬ 
sands. With the help of the world’s foremost originators I hope 
to promote still greater garden pleasures in the future. 
A Few Outstanding Novelties for 1924 
DAHLIA , Lady Elizabeth 
A distinct new break in Hybrid Cactus Dahlias, resembling the 
Hairy or Plume variety of Chrysanthemum. The tips of quilled 
petals being split, giving the flower a very shaggy appearance. 
Color, clear canary-yellow overlaid with bronzy pink. Very 
free flowering. Price, $10.00 each. 
Garden “Sensation” 
ROSE Novelty 
For years we have looked for a true crimson rose of enduring 
color and freedom of bloom. For several varieties in cultivation 
we can claim either characteristic, but in “ Sensation ” we find 
both, and in a marked degree. Of free-flowering habit, and ex¬ 
quisite fragrance. Price: Two year old POT PLANTS, April 
and May delivery, $2.50 per plant, $25.00 per dozen. 
VIOLA, Jersey Gem 
A great acquisition for edging and bedding purposes. Blooms from May 
until late fall. The flowers are large, with daintily fluted petals. The 
color is pure violet without other shading. The fragrant flowers are borne 
on stems about 6 inches long. Six for $3.00; Dozen $5.00.
